Eating Routines

At Grant's six-month checkup, our doctor also talked to me about how much we can (and should) be feeding him now. Before the appointment, we had started giving him solids a little bit more regularly....usually for a mid-morning snack, and again at around dinnertime. But some days (like today), he only gets it once. It just kind of depends on when we're out and if it seems to fit into our schedule, as bad as that sounds! Dr. Thomas told us that by 9 months, he should be eating three meals a day of baby food (and also 20-25oz of milk per day), and suggested that we slowly progress towards that. We can also start feeding him the Level 2 foods, which we tried late last week (and they don't seem much different than the Level 1!).

He's really liking everything we've given him; so far he's had peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, applesauce, and squash. Here are a couple of pictures where he's thoroughly enjoying his peas last week!
